Question:

GET Call to the Twitter API using OAuth Authentication?

Apr 17 '13 at 09:48

I’m evaluating your ActiveX library in order to be used to access Twitter API.

I follow your example about how to put a twitter status and works fine, but I have a question:

It’s possible to use your library to make a GET call to the Twitter API using OAuth authentication? An example as how to do that accessing https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json is possible?

Answer

The OAuth specific properties of Chilkat.Http (or CkHttp, CkoHttp, etc.) apply to all methods that would send an HTTP request, whether it be a GET, POST, etc.

For example, the following code snippet (C#) can precede any HTTP method call that sends a request:

http.OAuth1 = true;
http.OAuthVerifier = "";
http.OAuthConsumerKey = "my-consumer-key";
http.OAuthConsumerSecret = "my-consumer-secret";
http.OAuthToken = "my-access-token";
http.OAuthTokenSecret = "my-token-secret";
